About Bandipur national park in Mysore

Situated in the state of Karnataka near Mysore, Bandipur National Park was once the hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Mysore. It was later established as a reserve in 1974, and these deciduous forests rich in wildlife and flora have become a popular tourist attraction since then.

He took us to all the tourist spots that were there in itinerary and overall there were no issues during the t
